Linking The Remote switch To The Tablet
Each remote is linked to an individual robot. This linkage is done at the factory and each tablet and re-
mote pair is kept together throughout the manufacturing process. In case you buy additional remotes
or a replacement, you need to link each remote to your tablet. To start the linking process, tap the
Robot icon (must show connected), then the Learn Remote button. The button starts counting down
from 10 seconds. During this countdown, press any one of the 4 buttons on the remote. An acknowl-
edgment of the linkage is shown briefly at the bottom on the screen. After the countdown ends, and the
acknowledgment shown, the remote is linked to the tablet.
Up to 4 remotes can be linked to the same tablet. For every additional remote, a different button on the
remote must be pressed during the Learn Remote countdown.
Changing The Batteries In the Remote switch
The remote is powered by two 3V CR2016 button cell batteries. After long use, the batteries will dis-
charge and need to be replaced. After purchasing new batteries, open your remote by inserting a coin
or flathead screwdriver in the slot on the wide end of the remote and twisting to pop it open.
Remove the circuit board containing the battery. With your thumbnail, pull the battery holder away
from the circuit board. Pop the two depleted batteries out of the battery holder and replace with fresh
batteries. When inserting into the battery holder, be sure the positive side (+) of both batteries face up.
Re-insert the battery holder into the circuit board.
Reassemble the circuit board into the top housing (battery side up). Position the U-shaped metal piece
around the top housing. Then place the bottom housing on top and press the top and bottom housings
together, starting at the narrow end and working your way to the wide end until they snap in place.
Other Functions Of the Robot Screen
There are 3 other functions of the Robot Screen that we have not covered yet:
1. The Disconnect button is used to break the Bluetooth connection between Control Tablet and Ro-
bot. You can also disconnect by quitting the Amicus app or powering down the tablet, or robot.
2. At the top left of this screen is reported some important information about the Bluetooth signal
strength (handy for troubleshooting connection problems), hardware and firmware versions (helpful
to know if you have the latest firmware), the Serial Number of your device, and the Bootloader
version (a critical piece of software that loads the operating system). When you see this informa-
tion displayed, you know that the tablet is communicating with the firmware located on the Power
Circuit Board in the Base.
3. The Firmware Update button — when firmware is current, this button shows, You have the latest
firmware! If you don’t see that message, tap this button, and if you have an internet connection,
the tablet retrieves the latest firmware. The update process can take 8–10 minutes, and it is very
important that you never power off the tablet during that process (please plug the tablet into power
or have plenty of battery life before starting). Please do not use the tablet for anything else during
updating and let the update process end completely.
